Director Denis Villeneuve has creatively addressed a recurring question from fans about the upcoming 'Dune 2' film, specifically regarding how the Fremen dismount the giant sandworms, a key element of the movie's universe. Villeneuve, expressing excitement, revealed that he has devised a method for this process, stating 'I Found a Way…', which he looks forward to showcasing on screen. This detail has sparked interest among fans, as the director refers to the sandworm riding as a 'crazy Uber system'. In addition to this revelation, 'Dune 2' has been noted for its commitment to visual authenticity, with a significant portion of the film being shot in the Abu Dhabi desert over a month to achieve 'tactile' visuals, as stated by Villeneuve and actress Zendaya in a promotional video. The sandworm riding sequence, featuring Paul Atreides, took three months to shoot practically before the CGI implementation of the worm, with continuous sand blasting onto Paul to enhance realism. Villeneuve also mentioned that he had to invent a way for the Fremen to both mount and ride the worms, as these details were not specified in the original book.
